Coming from a Tesla Model 3…should I get a lightly used i8 as a daily driver? I’ve always been a BMW guy, this will be my 5th if I pull the trigger. I drive A LOT, and put 40k miles on the Tesla in a year and a half, just getting bored of it. Would going to an i8 be worth it? Just want to hear some opinions and feedback
Thats too much for an entry level sport car, you can have a lot of fun with a decent size displacement engine like a 1.8l and they’re not even that slow, you put them down too much.
Also 3l and 400+ HP how do you afford that? I have a 1.2l 90hp VW polo and I pay £4,000 insurance per year and over $7 a gallon of fuel which is affordable in the 1.2l but when I drive my mums 335i which is a 3l TT 320hp it drinks fuel at an unaffordable rate.
And why do you need a big loud exhaust? there is no point unless you get a bit more power but then you can pay so much for an exhaust with so little benefit.
What do you mean be „too much”? Today sportcars is 500-600 horsepower and more, my F Type S with its 380 hp is an entry level sportscar and nothing more. And no, you can not have a sportcar with a 1.8 engine.
Why do i want exhaust in sportcar? Emm, its like asking why i want a burger with meat. Because its how it is made?
I had 335i before and it’s fuel consumption is great for it’s power.
Yes you can have a sport car with a 1.8l, the Elise is the definition of a sports car thats why its handling was compared to the Ferrari F50.
Its not “how its made” there is plenty of sports cars without obnoxious and loud exhausts.
Its still drinks fuel but I will give you that it makes a lot of power.
